New Home

The Chicken coop is finally finished and not a moment too soon as the chickens heads were starting to hit the roof of their temporary home.

They were trying to escape anytime we went to feed them.

It's a nice little place-2 floors a nice place to roost, heat lamp when it's cold and lots of protection from the outside life. You just move it every couple of days and we're all happy. The lawn, the chickens...well maybe not the grubs or the moles but that just makes us all that much happier.

The kids were sooo excited to introduce the chickens to their new home. I'm actually surprised they still want to hold them, despite the many lessons on washing your hands afterward.

I was most impressed with Tate who has been pecked and still fearless.

The chickens were not too bright through this all though. They huddled on the cold hard ground till after the sun set and until John finally chased and threw them into the top where their roosting bar stood and the nice warm heat lamp. We're all hoping they make it through the night.

Good job on the new house John-looks fantastic!
